EXAMPLE: "A baby-faced soldier staring down a masked
warrior."

EXPLANATION: Juxtaposition in this article is used in a similar way to antithesis. The example of "A baby-faced soldier staring down a masked warrior" emphasizes the staggering difference between the two
parties. It is used to bring attention to the fact media portrays Indigenous individuals as warrior-like while portraying the rest of us
as a "baby-faced soldier."]]> 2021-09-22 19:17:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_koerner/ppjdlzfkdajw/wish/1760992865 https://padlet.com/kristina_koerner/ppjdlzfkdajw/wish/1763214874 Example: "drumming, dancing, drunk or dead"

Explanation: Alliteration is used in this article to create a sound element and to make the point more memorable. The fact that all four words start with the letter "D" makes it stand out and ensures the audience remembers them.]]> 2021-09-23 14:39:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_koerner/ppjdlzfkdajw/wish/1763214874 https://padlet.com/kristina_koerner/ppjdlzfkdajw/wish/1763259946 EXAMPLE: "But do you ask the purpose and meaning of the song? Is it an honour song, a prayer song, a memorial song?"

EXPLANATION: Repetition in this article is used to put emphasis on the word "song" and explain how a song can create a whole new purpose and meaning, but reporters don't seem to have an interest in its purpose and meaning, they seem to care more about letting the audience interpret the song for themselves.]]> 2021-09-23 14:53:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_koerner/ppjdlzfkdajw/wish/1763259946 https://padlet.com/kristina_koerner/ppjdlzfkdajw/wish/1763284822 Example: "if there’s no drums around, heaven forbid, then hurry up and find some flute music for the background track!"

Explanation: The verbal irony used in the article is to present how the media must always depict indigenous people in video by using background tracks created using instruments commonly associated with indigenous people.]]> 2021-09-23 15:01:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_koerner/ppjdlzfkdajw/wish/1763284822 https://padlet.com/kristina_koerner/ppjdlzfkdajw/wish/1763347330 Example: "Go to news search engines such as Google News and search “dead” and “First Nations” (or synonyms such as “native” or “Aboriginal”). I’ll bet my grandmother’s dreamcatcher your cup overfloweth with news from across the country."

Explanation: This is loaded language as it uses emotionally charged words such as "dead" and phrases like "your cup overfloweth with news from across the country". This perpetuates the belief that dead Indigenous people are on the news daily and creates or reinforces this train of thought inside reader's heads

schoolyard — BMMM bmmm bmmm bmmm BMMM bmmm bmmm bmmm BMMM bmmm
bmmm bmmm"

Explanation: Onomatopoeia is when the author uses an expression that sounds like what it names, and in this case, the author is using it to remind the reader of the all too familiar "Aboriginal drumming" noises. This is to remind the reader that they might have heard the sound before and if they have not, to give the reader an idea of what it is like.]]> 2021-09-23 15:30:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_koerner/ppjdlzfkdajw/wish/1763366352 https://padlet.com/kristina_koerner/ppjdlzfkdajw/wish/1763416043 Example: "Please, share your entertaining
costumes and dances and, yes, we’d love to taste your exotic food!"

Explanation: Shows that when it comes to setting a better image for themselves, Canadians embrace different cultures. However, when the Indigenous people practice their traditions in other ways they are ridiculed.  ]]> 2021-09-23 15:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kristina_koerner/ppjdlzfkdajw/wish/1763416043 https://padlet.com/kristina_koerner/ppjdlzfkdajw/wish/1764991030 example:
"But, what does this constant barrage of dead Indians tell our audiences about aboriginal communities in Canada? That aboriginal life in Canada is, to quote Thomas Hobbes and one infamous judge in British Columbia, “nasty, brutal and short”?
Or, nefariously, that “the only good Indian is a dead Indian”?"

explain: restatement is using different words to repeat the same idea or point. here the author asked the reader what does the increasing deaths of "indians" means followed by,
That aboriginal life in Canada is, to quote Thomas Hobbes and one
infamous judge in British Columbia, “nasty, brutal and short”?
restated by
Or, nefariously, that “the only good Indian is a dead Indian”?
